Check out Part 1 and Part 2 of this semi-regular series.
8. WHERE SHOULD I GO FOR INFO ON LOCAL SCHOOLS?
One surefire source for getting the low-down on local schools is by contacting the school systems themselves. They can give you basic information on their statistics and rating levels. You can also pop by their website, if they have one, to see what information they have posted online. Alternatively, contacting the city or county school board can also turn up further information on local schools. A good real estate agent is definitely going to be knowledgeable about schools in the area, so may be an additional source to tap.
9. WHAT ABOUT INFO ON COMMUNITY RESOURCES?
The local chamber of commerce is a great place to start. They should have promotional literature they can send you, as well as a website you can poke around on your own time. Also, try asking your estate agent about welcome kits, maps, and other information. Another place to seek information is the local library, since it can be an excellent source for information on local events and resources. Many librarians can often answer many of your burning questions–and are eager to help library patrons.
